ACT FAST Running Team
The Minnesota Stroke Association is starting a running team and YOU can join! The ACT FAST RUNNING TEAM will participate in races around the Twin Cities throughout 2013 and raise money for important Association programs.

As a runner, you will receive a logo t-shirt from the Minnesota Stroke Association for participating and potentially receive gear or benefits from participating local sponsors.

You will run either individually or as part of a team. Your participation will benefit not only the Minnesota Stroke Association, but also the stroke community as a whole by raising awareness of the effects of stroke as well as advocating for Minnesotans living with the long-term effects of stroke.

We see this as a fantastic and fun opportunity to raise funds for the Association and raise awareness of our services and stroke prevention efforts.

Interested? For more information, please contact Jarett Klein, Development Associate, at 612-238-3234 or by e-mail.
